What a fabulous, unplanned day.  Norm and Joanne invited us to go for a local, sightseeing drive.  Mind you, they live on the east side of Mt Rainier, just a little way from the National Park boundry.

We visited some of their favorite spots (that Mom could walk). Norm said to tell everyone that we went under the Pacific Crest Trail.

We had a wonderful lunch at the Whistlin' Jack Lodge on the Naches River.  This river supplies the Yakima valley with all the irrigation water necessary to grow all kinds of fruit, including one of two regions that produce those Washington apples that get shipped all over the country.
